FREE Health check event at No 65 High Street Nailsea – No appointment required.

Accure Health Care Consultancy Ltd is offering a FREE health event as part of the Community Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Program. This is supported by NHS Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucester. The FREE event will be held at No 65 High Street Nailsea on Friday 7th June 2024.

Heart and circulatory disease, also known as cardiovascular disease or CVD, causes a quarter of all deaths in the UK.  It is the one of the largest causes of premature mortality. The NHS Long Term Plan identified CVD as the single biggest area where the NHS can save lives over the next 10 years.

Millions of people are unaware that they are living with serious but treatable conditions such as atrial fibrillation, high blood pressure (hypertension) and high cholesterol. These are known as the A-B-C conditions, which are the major causes of CVD.

CVD can often largely be prevented by leading a healthy lifestyle.  For example stopping smoking, reducing alcohol intake, maintaining a healthy diet and exercising regularly. Spotting risk factors early reduces the chance of developing potentially life-threatening conditions including heart attacks, stroke and dementia.

Accure will offer a Mini Health Check with the Clinical Team from 11am -3pm to help individuals identify if they have hidden CVD. There will also be FREE advice for Heart Disease and Stroke Risk prevention.  Plus advice on keeping a Healthy Lifestyle. For more information about the FREE event please contact info@accurehealth.co.uk
